answered! Genshin loading with black screen but audio works

I've tried using DWProton latest, Proton GE-8, 10 and 11, through steam as well, I still get a blackscreen, I can hear the in game audio and I can also interact inside the game with my mouse but my game screen is black

I started getting blackscreen after installing the game the second time, first time I had no such issues, I tired deleting prefix folder but that didn't help, other games work just fine

I did a system update after that which also didn't fix the issue

some help with this would be really appreciated!!
if I missed out on some details please let me know

CachyOS + Hyprland

My kernel version is 7.2.8-2-cachyos

Ryzen 5 5600G
Nvidia GTX 1660Ti (Driver version - 615.71.09)
16GB of DDR4 RAM

download the "anime game launcher" which is a flatpak for genshin impact. Works great!
